Arsene Wenger has reportedly reassured Mesut Ozil that he is still central to his plans for Arsenal's future.

London, Mar. 13: Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has reportedly reassured injured midfielder Mesut Ozil that he is still central to his plans for the club’s future in ‘heart-to-heart’ talks. Ozil, who will miss important English Premier League matches against Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Manchester City, is targeting next months FA Cup semi-final against Wigan Athletic as a potential comeback date from his hamstring injury.

According to the Mirror, Ozil, who was signed by Arsenal for a record 42 million pounds from Real Madrid, was left struggling mentally after missing a penalty against Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League due to a hamstring injury.

Arsene Wenger reportedly believes the demands of the English Premier League would be easier for Ozil to handle next season, as the player has struggled at times to settle since his summer move from Real Madrid to Arsenal. (ANI)
